Painting Charming Christmas Heirlooms

CONTENTS INCLUDE

KOALA CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Painted with koalas opening their presents, this photo album, designed by Chris Roy is ideal to store your nostalgic Christmas photos from years gone by.

ROCKING HORSE CHRISTMAS TREE

An antique rocking horse features in the design painted on this large tree cut-out by Kay Wiggins. Festive red bows are painted on the branches and a star shines brightly at the top of the tree.

REINDEERS

Reindeers always feature prominently in many Christmas themes. This sweet-faced trio, painted by Denise Shulik, are sure to charm their way into your heart.

SANTA BANNER

Kerry Hodge has painted a traditional Santa, dressed in blue robes, on a canvas banner. He's carrying presents and a tree and trying to find his way through the snow to deliver them on time.

FEATURE STORY - CHRISTMAS MEMORIES

TWIRLYGIG SANTA AND HELPERS

Evoking nostalgic memories, this piece will remind you of early mechanical toys. When the handle is turned, the figures move. Carolyn Ballantine has even crafted dimensional hair and hats for them.

TRIO OF ANGELS

Lea Davis has painted these wood-turned angels in perfect festive colours and has added dimensional halos and stars to them.

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW

Santa's sleigh is just the right size for lots of chocolates - so many that they could easily fill Santa's tummy and leave enough for guests. Kay Wiggins has decorated it with traditional red and white and incorporated a faux finish on the sleigh.

COUNTRY CHRISTMAS RECIPES

Many people have Christmas recipes handed down through many generations of their families. Louise De Masi has decorated a tin suitable to store them in.

SANTA'S HELPERS

It's well known that bears always like to help choose the Christmas tree and Shirley Freeman has proved this with this cute painting of bears in the snow.

A CIRCLE OF SANTAS

Lore Barratt has solved some gift wrapping problems with this clever piece decorated with Santas. A metal tub has fabric glued to the top of it with a drawstring attached.

KOALA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

These six koalas will add an Autralian theme to your tree. Kerry Hodge has painted them with a candy cane, baubles and a stocking.

SIX WHITE BOOMERS AND SLEIGH

Jenny Moffett has decorated these in red, white

and green and they would look delightful as the table centrepiece.

CLEANING THE STARS

Didn't you always wonder why the stars were so shiny? Lyn Cordery shows us the answer with this painted piece.

I BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS

Pen and wash usually results in very soft colours but Annette Johnson has given her Christmas hears a festive touch with strong traditional colours.

Next Issue

A great Christmas Issue of this popular magazine, featuring wonderful projects, profiles and features!

This copy is in very good condition, clean and unmarked throughout with the pattern still attached and unused.

I try to describe my items as accurately as possible and will gladly provide further information and photos on request.

The simplest way to find the cost of shipping or posting this item if you are overseas or the price is not listed is to contact me. I will weigh the item and calculate the best way of sending it to your specified address. Registered Mail is your choice and the additional cost (currently $2.80 within Australia) will be added to the final payment at your request.

While I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases, it does depend on their weight and it is sometimes more economical to mail them in separate envelopes. Once calculated you can be assured that I will always get your items to you as cheaply as possible.

I do not charge any handling or packaging fees unless special padded bags or boxes are required to protect the item and I only pass on the actual postal costs that Australia Post charges me.

I post out every day in order to get the item to you as quickly as possible but keep in mind I live in Perth, Western Australia, so the delivery time to the Eastern States may take a day or two for small items and up to a week for a larger parcel.
